Notes

You can make this recipe with brown rice. This posts tells you How to Cook Brown Rice in the Instant Pot.
You can use fresh vegetables for this recipe, but I don’t recommend canned. They tend to get mushy.
You can omit the sesame oil if you don’t have any, but I love the nutty flavor it gives.
If you like eggs in your fried rice, remove the rice after it is finished cooking and scramble as many eggs as you prefer before adding back the rice and vegetables.
This recipe is easy to customize to your preference, I love adding bell peppers and onions.
